I ordered an iPad for my Mother

September 15, 2010 - The journey begins. I ordered an iPad from Apple for my 80+ year old, not a computer user, Mother.

I tried to introduce her to computing through several decades. I've had a computer since the late 70s.

The reason for this purchase is that she wants to get on Facebook. She wants to get on Facebook because a grandson moved away to start college. When I visit my Mom, we look through his Facebook updates and photos on my iPhone.

I set up a Windows laptop up for my Mother to try on Facebook but she didn't take to it at all. I expect to post another story comparing a Windows laptop and an iPad.

After a few days of thinking it over, I order the WiFi iPad for my Mother. Stay tuned as I share the journey with you that will help document how a typical senior citizen, who hasn't used computers, takes to her iPad!

I expect to review apps as they related to seniors and elders to help others as they help their parents with iPads and perhaps other tablet computers.
